Tax Credits for Health Insurance

State Tax Credits

K.S.A. 40-2246 allows an income tax credit for some small employers that make qualifying contributions to a small employer health benefit plan or health savings account of an eligible employee. Small employers (defined in K.S.A. 40-2209d) have from 2 and 50 employees. From tax year 2013 on, these credits are only available to corporations subject to the Kansas corporate income tax (C corporations).

For more information and to utilize the tax credit, obtain Kansas Department of Revenue schedule K-57.

Small businesses may optionally register here and print a copy of their registration. (Note to take the credit, small businesses must file schedule K-57.)

Federal Tax Credits

There are also federal tax credits available through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed in 2010. See the Internal Revenue Service website for more information.

See the Kansas Insurance Department’s health reform site, insureKS.org, for other information regarding ACA and small businesses or go to HealthCare.gov.
